But We can't find a name for her Sad

All previous short listed names are pretty much out.they don't suit her.

DP likes Nuala,I don't
I like Sylvie,DP doesn't

We need a short (2-3 syllable) name.
Siblings are Skye & Arlo.

I've searched every possible baby name site,read books had 100's of threads and still nothing Sad

Those are lovely sausage.

I like longer middles though.
The other two DC have 2 middles.
one long (2-3 syllables) and one short (1 syllable).

Something different...nature-y....flowery perhaps...

Many congratulations Frigg and family! Doesn't she even look like a Clementine?

I did suggest Charis on a previous thread, (pronounced Karis) or how about Wren or Lenaea?
